(Representative Julianne Young Press Release, June 5, 2024)
BLACKFOOT, ID – Today, Representative Julianne Young announced her formal request for a recount of the election results for seat 30B in the Idaho House of Representatives. The request is made in accordance with Idaho Code 34-2309, which allows for a recount when the margin between candidates is less than or equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the total votes cast or five votes, whichever is greater.
“We observed significant variations in the vote count during the election, with my opponent’s lead fluctuating from 10 votes to a 2-vote margin days after the election. Such variations raise concerns about the accuracy of the current vote count. The voters of Idaho deserve to have full confidence in the accuracy and security of their elections. By requesting this recount, we are putting to rest any questions regarding the outcome of this election. This due diligence in regard to elections is consistent with the Republican values we all cherish.
The recount process will commence as soon as the request is formally processed by the appropriate election authorities. Updates on the recount’s progress and results will be provided to the public to maintain transparency throughout the process.
